Pet care experience

Happy Pets, Happy Humans Guaranteed

Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, whether they’re bouncy pups, gentle seniors, or curious cats. I know every pet has their own quirks and comforts, so I take the time to understand what makes them happiest. As a proud pet parent to two of my own, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family member. I’m adaptable, mindful, and treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, play, and plenty of love. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, quiet company, or making sure meds are given on time, my goal is to keep tails wagging (or purring!) until you’re back home. I look forward to meeting your best friend and providing them with the thoughtful, reliable care they deserve.

Thank you Kaia for taking such good care of Miles and Lucy while we were away. You really put our minds at ease knowing they were in your care, and the daily updates much appreciated.

The first time I was able to truly relax on vacation because Kaia once again took such wonderful care of our two golden retrievers. The daily check ins with pics of walks and play and cuddles put my mind at ease, and they LOVE her.

Kaia is so great with our energetic pair of golden retrievers. They love her attentiveness, play, and sniff safaris. She also keeps me updated on their care and her stay, and this puts my mind at ease when we’re traveling.

I’ve booked Kaia a couple of times now and she’s awesome. She watched my two cats over the holidays, and I couldn’t be more grateful. The photos and updates she sends are always the sweetest, and it’s so clear how much she cares about my kitties and they love her! ☺️ thank you so much, Kaia! 🥹
